... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents PART TWO: GODS, PLANETS, MADNESS CHAPTER SIX The Rape of Helen It began during the furious quarrel between Odysseus and Achilles at the rich feast of the gods, sings Demodocus, "for it was at this very moment that calamity began to unroll upon both Trojans and Danaans by the plans of the Great Zeus."[1 ] The Iliad is sung as the wrath of Achilles on one level - the Poet says so - but is of a type with the battles of the sky gods recited in Scandinavian, Finnish, Hindu, Mexican, Babylonian, and ...
202. Astroblemes of the Earth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER ELEVEN Astroblemes of the Earth The first experience of Super Uranian instability on Earth would be a quick succession of light and darkening and a relatively more pronounced illumination from the South (Sun) and the electrical arc. The dark would come from the expulsion of dust and debris down the sac towards the Sun (see Figure 23). Pandemonium would be let loose and frightful specters abound as fragments would rip through the plenum and encounter Earth. Instability of Super Uranus periodically expelled from that body a halo of debris whose nature depended upon the intensity of the particular outburst. It ...
203. Electricity [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FIVE Electricity Tertullian, an early Christian apologist, came to the attention of a contemporary physicist delving into the occult, and he, J. Ziegler, has supplied us with this quotation which can introduce this chapter and the next: The philosophers know the distinction between common and mysterious fire. The First that serves man's use is one thing. The fire that ministers to the judgement of God is another, whether flashing the thunderbolts from the heaven or rushing up from the earth through the mountain tops. For it does not consume what it burns, but, even while it spends it ...
204. The AAAS Symposium on Velikovsky [Books]
... and its moral object lessons that show reason triumphing over superstition." (22) What Storer has presented is an unreal, idealized picture of science. What Storer wishes to analyze is, why had the scientific community behaved toward Velikovsky in a manner totally in contradiction to these norms during the 1940's and 1950's. "The analyses by de Grazia [Juergens, and Stecchini in The Velikovsky Affair] and others of how the scientific establishment responded to Velikovsky's assertions seem amply to document charges that in certain cases both norms of science and the norms of common courtesy were violated. Indeed, the affair has become a classic case study used to flay scientism' for its hypocrisy and its ...
205. The Two Faces of Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER EIGHT The Two Faces of Love The Aphrodite of the light Olympian-age character plays opposite her usual star in the Love Affair, Ares. Her husband, Hephaestus, earns little affection from her, and, though the story is not mentioned here, she is the mother of three children by Ares. She is one of the few ever to have expressed love for Ares, and in "The Battle of the Gods," in the Iliad, she goes to his aid in battle and is roundly smacked by the Goddess Athena. If we look into Homer for the ...
206. Ice Cores of Greenland [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Burning of Troy, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER ELEVEN Ice Cores of Greenland There is a certain grim quality to the confrontation of uniformitarians and catastrophists. The antagonists prowl in the jungle of natural history seeking the one definitive test that will finally discomfit and silence the other. If only the evolutionist could show that some major change in the world has come about with exquisite gradualness- the ice ages, new species, the ocean basins- then the opposition might be forced into silence. Just as relentlessly the quantavolutionary stalks among the events of history searching for the one indisputable catastrophe that has introduced a major change in the natural world- a ...
207. A PERSONAL MEMOIR [Journals] [Aeon]
... lectures and debate at many colleges and universities. I accompanied him, along with his wife, Elisheva, to most of them. His lectures were well attended and often went late into the night as questions poured in from the audience. The University of the New World, an experimental school founded in Sion, Switzerland by Professor Alfred De Grazia of NYU, attracted students and scholars from many countries who came to participate in the studies centering on Velikovsky's work and to hear his lectures. It is not my purpose here to enter the debate on the validity of Velikovsky's work but rather to recall briefly, for whatever historical value it might have, some highlights of my association with ...
208. On Method [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Part Three TECHNICAL NOTES On Method Scientific method goes far beyond such tasks as washing test tubes antiseptically or inventing a better particle shield. It is more than a logical or mathematical calculation. On any question of importance, as here in cosmology, it invokes a sociology of science and a philosophy of being and change. In the famous Piltdown Hoax, a deliberately buried modern brain case and orangutan jaw were exhumed in 1912 and pronounced an exciting discovery in human evolution (see Johanson and Edey, pp77-83). Most scientists, led by an authoritative English group, assigned to the ...
209. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... "Dear Sir, Many years ago, when I had my first and last look at his manuscript entitled "Peoples of the Sea", I mentioned to Velikovsky that the titles by being fixed to fourth-century events, hampers the transference of the "Peoples of the Sea" to the Martian epochal interface. While we talked, Catherine de Grazia, an art historian and my daughter, was glancing at the work and commented, looking at the figures in the murals about Ramesses III, that she had never seen Greek warriors of the period wearing horned helmets. Velikovsky turned from the major point, upon which he was determined, to this admittedly critical detail and I, as ...

211. Indeterminacy: Temporary, Permanent, Or Indefinite? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... planetary surroundings, and may, at various times, have constituted a disc, a torus, a girdle, or a shell, each of which produced a different image of the sky. Returning to Talbott's reconstruction, my greatest difficulty lies in accepting his identification of his super-planet (or mini-star) as Saturn. As Zysman, Alfred De Grazia, and Earl Milton ask, What about Uranus? Or, for that matter, what about Neptune? I am not caviling about Saturn as such, but rather raising the vexed paleo-astronomical problem of planetary identity. This identity problem, of course, has a semantic aspect, since there is a lexical paradox in the fact that, ...
212. The Olympian Rulers [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Chaos and Creation, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER NINE The Olympian Rulers "When Jupiter was first born, he defeated Saturn and the Sun by his brilliance," reports the Taitiriya Brahmanna [1 ]. Declares Jupiter-Marduk in a Babylonian epic poem: "When I stood up from my seat and let the flood break in, then the judgement of Earth and Heaven went out of joint.... The gods, which trembled, the stars of heaven-their position changed, and I did not bring them back."[2 ] The Age of Saturnia ended in the Biblical Deluge. The Age of Jovea (5700 to 4400 B ...
213. Freeing The Log Jam [Journals] [Pensee]
... it had died down, published discussions about the issues raised in the book were rare. The Velikovsky Affair, a composite work which appeared in 1966 (and in a revised British paperback edition in 1978), was an expanded presentation of a selection of articles published in the American Behavioral Scientist in 1963 under the editorship of Dr Alfred de Grazia: this for the first time documented in detail the many examples of unscientific and near-hysterical reactions which Velikovsky's first book provoked. Much of The Velikovsky Affair was taken up with this, and also with reflections on the nature of science and of the scientific mentality; actual discussions of the hard evidence were few, although an impressive list of ...
214. The Sybil and Dr Stecchini [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Kronos of FRANZ XAVER KUGLER's monograph on the Phaethon legend and the Sibylline "Battle of the Stars", I acknowledged DR LIVIO STECCHINI'S impressive work in the same area, pointing out, however, where I considered his reading of Kugler's intention and conclusions was in error [1 ]. Earlier this year, I learned from DR ALFRED DE GRAZIA, the editor of The Velikovsky Affair, that the new edition of the book (now available in paperback) would include some new material from Dr Stecchini in response to this. My reservations, expressed in my footnotes 6 and 32, were: - "It may be a cursory reading of the work that caused L. C ...

... the 19th Dynasty, casting Ramesses II as the Pharaoh Necho of Hebrew and Greek sources and Necho's adversary, Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, as a ruler of the "Hittite Empire" (usually dated, along with Ramesses II, to the 13th century). A fuller appraisal of the book will follow. THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR edited by Alfred de Grazia (London: Abacus, paperback, ca. 80p). October. The long-awaited republication of this book will have only minor changes, including an updating introduction. Contributions by Ralph Juergens on the history of Velikovsky's reception, Livio Stecchini on ancient and modern astronomy and Dr de Grazia himself on the attitudes of scientists make this an indispensable ...
216. The Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FOURTEEN The Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn The great god, Saturn, identified by many names, of many cultures, and often associated with the planet, which has been known in the most ancient times by that name, is the son of a god. In the ancient Buddhist liturgy he is called Ravisuta, or "Son of the Sun". Uranus, by his many names, does not have a father; but he is often referred to as the father of Saturn, Uranus is killed, castrated, defeated, retired, or dismissed, and ...

... snail layer dating from the end of the last Ice Age. Although Ager had suggested that this could be taken as an indication of a universal conflagration, when Han tackled him about it, asking if there were other examples which had been explained away separately, Ager replied that he had only meant it as a joke. However, de Grazia had mentioned a similar layer in the Nile Valley and German excavations over 50 years ago had shown what appeared to be a blanket cover of carbon from Ostend to Hamburg. Similar results from Holland showed an interesting horizon from the late Pleistocene, with distinct layers of yellow sand associated with iron and bleached white layers associated with carbon but these ...

His financial future was assured- all of his books remained in print through his lifetime, and some of them went through dozens of hardcover and softcover reprintings- but his reputation was permanently tarnished. Whenever establishment figures wished to make a statement about pseudoscience or the occult, or later to castigate the Scientific ...

... early years they worked virtually full-time for the SIS, without pay, and our debt to them is considerable. Brian introduced each panel member and asked them to say first how they became involved with Velikovskian ideas and the SIS and then outline their present activities. Prof. Lynn Rose heard a radio programme in the late 1960s with Alfred de Grazia and Livio Stecchini talking about Velikovsky and about the various reasons why he was wrong. He decided the reasons given against Velikovsky's ideas were not necessarily sound and that got him started. He telephoned Velikovsky, met him, became good friends and the rest is history. Lynn gave a short commercial for his new book Sun, Moon and ...

224. The Electrical God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: God's Fire, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER EIGHT The Electrical God A famous figure of the French Enlightenment of the Eighteenth Century, Voltaire, reduced the miracles of the Bible to a laughing stock of the French salons. Voltaire nevertheless believed in a god. In a world then bemused by the technology of clocks, with clock-makers and clock-philosophers everywhere, he examined the astronomical system of the Earth and the heavens and pronounced it a clock. With all of this clockwork, said he, there must be a clock-maker somewhere. So Moses and his men will be readily understood when, in an environment that exhibited electrical effects in many places, they ...

... From: Chaos and Creation, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER ELEVEN The Devil's Advocate 1 January 1980 Dear Professor de Grazia: I have now read your manuscript, "Chaos and Creation," in its entirety and have a number of criticisms to offer. You asked me to comment upon the work as a "uniformitarian," which I suppose you can call me, but naturally I feel that I am judging the material on grounds of science and scholarship, rather than upon the basis of what is non-uniformitarian. As a matter of fact, I should say that I have found some points of agreement with your work, and, if I do ...
